Yoshida Invested as Prime Minister in Tokyo
Shigeru Yoshida was invested as prime minister by Emperor Hirohito in a brief palace ceremony. He began selecting a cabinet from the Democratic-Liberal party, though the party is ultra conservative, and his position appears insecure after 213 blank ballots and a 185 to one vote in the diet. The investiture was witnessed by Speaker Komakichi Matsuoka, Tsuneo Matsudaira, and Hitoshi Ashida, who had resigned last week.
